The Klamath River is the 3rd most important river for salmon. Dams on the river provides cheap electricity and irrigation water, which has sparked controversy and conflict over the re-licensing of the dams verses dam removal.
"Today's announcement is the first step in what would be the largest dam removal project ever in history . . ."
A final determination of costs vs benefits will not come until 2012.

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
